Sam did everything he can. If he had more time, he would have made more preparations that are not as superficial and can give him actual help.
After all, even now only Raunak is trying to help out a bit by increasing the guards near the cane fields which is the most he can do for now.
As for anything more than that, it is hard for even him as his main field of work is within the business sector and he cannot involve himself too much in the town safety.
While the group is worried about what is happening, some people entered the town one by one. Most of them are elves and there are some centaurs. The Centaurs have separate restaurants where they can sit and eat as horses do.
They don't get to transform into human forms like Nagas until they broke through the consummate realm.
Currently, a centaur is eating in one of those restaurants with two spears strapped on his back. There is a dark aura around him as if he just came out of a large pit of dead bodies. Nobody bothered with him as he just ate casually.
At this moment another centaur is getting drunk at the next table and he looked at the behavior of the rest and looked at this Centaur.
"Hello, Pal. You look like a great warrior. May I know your name?" The drunk centaur tried to make small talk.
But this centaur just focused on his food which made the former annoyed. But he didn't make a fuss and just drank and tried to broach the topic a little more.
But the more he drank and the more he got rejected, the more annoyed he became. Nobody even knows why he tried to make the small talk and got annoyed just because the other party didn't play along.
Soon he is on verge of exploding and said.
"Do you know who I am? I am part of the centaur guards of candidate 1."
The dark centaur finally looked at him and started paying attention.
The drunkard finally had his ego satisfied and said.
"You don't look half bad. I have a decent swing in my troops. Do you want me to recommend you there?"
"Fuck Off." This is the only reply he got.
The centaur guard was extremely baffled and dumbfounded.
"What did you say to me?"
He asked after coming out of his daze.
"I said fuck off."
"How dare you?" The drunk guard directly attacked and the centaur guard just decided to pay back in kind.
The battle began.
The Centaur guard is actually quite strong and he became sober in an instant as soon as the battle began.
Both of them started attacking and they thrashed everything that came in their way. The drunk guard was on the losing end and decided to move around a bit to find some of his co-workers.
And he did. In another restaurant for humans, there is another guard of the candidate one who is eating. He moved the battle towards it and grabbed the attention of his coworker.
That guy immediately made a move without waiting to help out the drunk guard, but his attack missed and landed on another table making the human on that spot who is eating.
He looked back at the person who attacked and his aura raged. He didn't even bother to talk as he joined the battle.
Similar scenarios repeated as the guards are increasing in number and at the same time, they are offending more and more people and the small fight between two people has already turned into a gang fight.
When they saw the town guards gathering to interfere, the people involved in the fight didn't want to stop now, so they tacitly decided to move in a different direction where there are not many people.
And it turned out to be the way towards the Cane fields.
The faction 1 guards are not exactly in the right state of mind. They are already pissed off in this town as they are getting a hard time due to the town head being a person from faction 2. While they are having a bad time, they are being attacked by some people who they don't even know.
They don't even want to stop until they get some blood on their hands.
Sam and his friends are currently in the residence. But since the cane fields are not so far from Farmer's street, they are keeping an eye.
When they saw the large group of people moving towards the cane fields, Sam felt his heart turn cold and moved with his team.
They followed the group that is fighting and are sure that the group is heading to the cane fields. Sam didn't wait for a second before deciding to attack.
There are twenty people and out of them, Sam recognized ten of them. They are all the guards of faction 1. He is neither stupid nor was he in a heat of the moment. He knew that something fishy is going on as soon as he saw them.
He took out his staff and attacked with the lightning element. He didn't want to kill, the laws are too much of a hassle for him to bypass them and kill people just because they are interfering in his plans.
At least not now.
He has to wait for a while before he did anything too extreme.
But knocking them unconscious and even severely injuring them can be done as long as he did that for the right reason.
The cane farmers are not exactly strong and most of them are only Nascent stage cultivators. Even if they are pre-transcendent stage cultivators, they wouldn't be able to deal with twenty raging pre-transcendent stage cultivators.
They wouldn't even dare to think when they knew that half of them are the underlings of a candidate for town head.
But Sam didn't have any of those fears. He can whatever he wants. If push comes to shove, he can just escape for that moment and come back to take revenge.
The group of four just jumped into the group fight and started beating the shit out of everyone around them.
They didn't care if the person is from the faction or the individuals who are surprisingly working together.
They just fought and the group started moving.
This caused the fight to halt for a moment. All twenty of them took a step back and formed a circle as they looked at four of them who are standing in the middle.
Sam looked at them and said coldly.
"I don't care if you guys want to kill each other. But one more step, and I will make you wish you are dead."
The faction 1 guards took the chance to come back to their senses and looked at the group that is fighting them and they understood that they seemed to have fallen into some plot. They became angry and wanted to start a fight once again. But as soon as the drunk centaur who is the starting point of all this chaos, moved.
Sam made a move, he spun his staff and blocked his spear, and said.
"I said don't move. If you guys want to fight, get the fuck out of this area first."
"Get the fuck out of my way." The centaur is clearly pissed off at Sam. One must wonder how he became a guard with such temper.
Sam didn't bother to talk, he manipulated the gravity and made the centaur feel the pressure. His front legs almost buckled, but Sam didn't give him a chance to get out the pinch before he spun his staff and hit him right in the jaw.
A few teeth fell out, but Sam didn't stop. His body was covered with silver lightning as he started beating the crap out of the guy. He broke the left hand that held the spear. He snapped the right shoulder, the front leg, five ribs and finally gave a crack at the spine.
The centaur fell onto the ground and fought for his breath. Sam looked at the rest of them coldly.
The faction 1 guards are also staring back. They are all impulsive and one could easily get that from the way they fought. They are only a small part of the guards and they don't make up the major force, otherwise the faction 1 candidate would have been already dead.
They all made Sam their target now and almost ignored the rest of the group that started this fight. Sam didn't mind.
As long as they stayed here.
But the second group which Sam assumed to be the people that faction 2 arranged, took this chance to move towards the cane fields and finish their task.
Sam just broke the fight with the current group and went after them.
His target once again was the centaur who fought with the first centaur.
This guy is not as easy as the first centaur, but that made little difference. Sam clashed with him for a few strikes and once again the gravity increased. That guy felt the pressure, but at this moment, Sam stabbed the staff straight into the ground and a large lump of dirt formed an arm as it held the legs of the centaur and pulled him downwards even more.
Sam then swung his staff upwards and followed with light element a large vertical scar was created on the torso of the centaur while the staff hit him in the chin.
The chin was broken instantly and the staff lodged itself into the lower half of his mouth and even the upper teeth fell off.
